As we forgive those who trespass against us?

I was sitting alone in a park one day, about two years ago or something. I had had a brawl (as usual) with my mum and decided to walk out on her before I had said the wrong thing, I prefer to call it 'control' (as rude as it may seem even after exchanging a few words its always better to walk out and be the "coward" before you say very hurtful stuff.) So there was a park very close to my house and i decided i am going to take a walk and let the breeze erase any memory of what had just happened. Still don't know why I am not fit coz I have taken so many walks in my life and me and the breeze we tight like that (story for some other time).

So now I am chilling in the park at like 14:30 or 15:00hrs and i decide well my boyfriend lives right across the park so let me text him to come chill with me. As I was amid the text, two men stood on either side of me. Don't ask me how they got there coz I have no idea. One was holding a knife and another a gun and all they said is give us your cellphone. I'm like oh hell no! Ima give you my fist that's what i will give you!! Just kidding. My heart was pounding so fast I thought I was dying and you know what i said to the dudes, i said "Can I at least take my sim card?" lol. And they allowed me to take my sim card. I was so scared I think I peed my pants with every word I spoke. Then they asked me if I had money on me, I said no. They started to search me and they touched me so wrong I still cringe at the thought of it. They found a R10 note on me and they said 'why did you lie to us?' My extent of shock was at its peak I found myself unable to speak.

Then they said I must run. I mean you found me sitting there and you take my phone and the only money I had then you ask me to run from my spot. Dude what happened to respect? Its my spot and you found me there! You run! Coz if I call my boyfriend's brothers (who live an eyes stretch from where I was sitting) you will be toast Mr. And if I had called my bf's brothers on time I promise they would have been toast. But I would have said all the above mentioned if I had the voice at that time and if my pants weren't so soaking wet. So you guessed it, I wobbled my way away (obviously couldn't run). Went straight to my bf's house and I was hyperventilating . I couldn't breath, I couldn't talk, I just had tears running down my face and that was my first encounter with a robbery.

But today I ask myself how much have I robbed from Christ? I don't have a right to hold on to unforgiveness. I don't! You don't! How many times have I robbed Christ of His time? of His tithe? of His temple (the body he gave me to take care of)? How many times have I robbed Him of His worship? How different am I from these two man that came to me and assaulted me? In the spiritual I would say I am worse.

The blood of Christ spilt for my transgressions and for their transgressions. They don't know any better. They need to find Christ and maybe, just maybe, what they did to me they will use as a testimony for the Glory of God.

I got more stories ya'll. Keep watching for part 2 and 3 of "As we forgive those who trespass against us.."

But for now, let go of that unnecessary hurt you are causing yourself by holding on to unforgiveness. Its unnecessary.

PrOvOkal ya'll. ALL 4 Christ

Wow! I'm so sorry about that, but I like the analogy you're drawing, I'd never thought about it like that.
